A. Overview of Article

In this article Reilly focuses on the kind nature of former Colts coach Tony Dungy. A man named Mark Lemke nominated his son for "Faces in the Crowd" because he broke all kinds of Golf records but he died tragically in a motorcylce accident at the age of 19. Dungy saw this and contacted Lemke himself because he knew the same feeling. Dungy's son hanged himself back in 2005. Dungy and him stayed in contact for a long time and Dungy even invited him to the Colts Superbowl in which they won. It turns out that Dungy took it upon himself to contact many other families who lost their kids.

C. Quote and Analysis "No, it //is// Tony Dungy," the voice says. "I'm just calling to offer my condolences to you and see if there's anything I can do to help you." This quote shows how Tony Dungy just randomly called someone he didn't know to see if he could help them as they were having a rough time.

D. Group Reaction We thought the story was very inspiring because Lemke took his time to talk to someone how just lost someone important to him. We were also very surprised that Tony talked to was talking to a man who he never met before when he had a super bowl coming up. He also invited Lemke to the super bowl as a guest to watch the game even though Lemke is a Vikings fan.
